5.2.2 FieldTool™ operating program
FieldTool™ is a universal service and configuration software package designed for the
PROline measuring devices. Connection is by means of the PROline service interface
(service adapter) with a Commubox FXA 193 or the HART interface with a Commubox
FXA 191.
The functionality of FieldTool™ includes the following:
• Configuration of device functions
• Visualisation of measuring values (including data logging)
• Data backup of device parameters
• Measuring point documentation
Note:
You can find more information on FieldTool™ in the following E+H document:
• System Information: SI 031D/06/en “FieldTool™”
5.2.3 General notes
The function matrix comprises a multiplicity of functions which, for the sake of clarity, are
arranged in a number of function groups.
Comply with the following instructions when configuring functions:
Certain functions prompt you to enter “yes” as confirmation after you complete your
data entries. This saves your setting or starts a function, as applicable.
Note:
• The transmitter continues to measure while data entry is in progress, i.e. the current
measured values are output via the signal outputs in the normal way.
• If the power supply fails all preset and parameterised values remain safely stored in
the EEPROM.
Caution:
• All functions are described in detail, as is the function matrix itself, in the “Description
of Device Functions” manual, which is a separate part of this Operating Instruction.
• Changing certain parameters such as all sensor characteristics, for example, influ-
ences numerous functions of the entire measuring system, particularly measuring
accuracy.There is no need to change these parameters under normal circumstances
and consequently, they are protected by a special code known only to the E+H serv-
ice organisation. Please contact Endress+Hauser if you have any questions.
